The first time Mr Douglas Friedman came to Marfa, Texas, it was under less than ideal circumstances.

The newest member of the [MR PORTER Style Council ](https://www.mrporter.com/en-ae/style-council)was there on a romantic getaway, but the chemistry was fizzling. The July weather was scorching, the air humid. The days he dropped in, Monday and Tuesday, are when most everything in the sleepy, high desert settlement is closed. “All things considered, it wasn’t great,” Friedman says. Despite all that, the trip touched something deep within him: a love of adventure, nature, and wide-open spaces, and the romance and mystique of the desert.
